There's a very effective pun on the name Nosey Flynn that adds ironic depth to this scene. On one hand Flynn is "nosey" as in sticking his "nose" in Bloom's business; on the other hand, Flynn "knows". "Knows" what? He knows what Blazes Boylan is "UP to" with Molly and is making fun of Bloom as Duliners like Mooney & Lenehen make fun of Josie Breem's poor husband (UP:UP). This scoundrel Flynn "knows he knows what he knows about what he's nosed out."

I've caught up embedding the last dozen podcasts in my illustrated etext, but I've also created an alternate way in, via a onepage html Ulysses etext, with hidden links to annotations (incl FD) after each paragraph.

This Ulysses is matched with a similar Finnegans Wake and also the other works-- Dubliners, Portrait, Exiles, and the poems (with Stephen Hero in development separately).
